Definitely one of the bands that got me into heavier and more technical stuff. Saw them on Summer Slaughter one year and it was amazing, the moshpit just stopped entirelywhenever a solo came up because everyone was rushing to the front of the stage to watch, and every note was flawless. It was a bizarre and awesome experience.

Saw them when Minneman was playing drums for them. It didn't appear to be taxing him.

I never got that. It's their best album, and the only one I still reach for.

Didn't get it either. The closest I got was when members of my first band at the time was saying it wasn't as good as Aenima, and I was alone contradicting that opinion. Agreed that Lateralus is their best.
